The trees aside the snowy winter fields have a tragic ethereal skeletal quality. Against gray skies, they’re lacy delicate beautiful. This beauty interrupted, the deer body lays twisted, staring with dead dark eyes into oncoming traffic. Bleak and negative, grays and whites and blacks linear strips of trees stand guard against the open cold air…
As a child, I can remember feeling such an incredible feeling of grief and let down when the last present was opened. All that savored anticipation had come to an end. Fin. Final. No finale. In my adulthood, I feel differently. I am glad to be off. Off work. Off the stage. On switched to…
She was one of my favorite customers at my shop, Bally Eden. When I met her, I thought it an odd coincidence she graduated from a college in Rhode Island where my sister lives and that we both ended up here in Denton, Maryland. Desperate to find a kind dentist at the time, she then…
Traditionally, we have carved our pumpkins by Halloween night and happily light the tea candles within to enjoy their macabre faces while we eat grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Because of the recent craziness, our time available to carve was today. Before Eamon came along, I made Mark carve pumpkins with me. Poor soul….
And finally I bring you the television commercial for Bally Eden. A 30 second spot I paid big bucks to have produced and shown on local cable. I think HGTV was one of the stations I chose to run it on. This was a risk for me because there was no money. And sadly, it…
Joviality, Abigail McNinch and Mary Claytor’s adorable shop at 406 Market Street, is holding strong and as lovely as ever. Opened in the summer of 2011, they offer a very thoughtful collection of giftware, decor items, jewelry, cards, baby items, and sumptuous scarves. They held a Mom’s morning out last week and Fiona and I…
Down here on the “slower lower shore” in Caroline County, Maryland, they have an Annual Wheat Threshing Steam & Gas Engine Show in August. This was their 53rd. Located on the route south from Denton, Maryland to Federalsburg, this hootinanny is held in a great big field and features an antique tractor show, flea market…
I was aware that the plein air festival was going down in Easton as it does every July. I’d seen some of the artists out painting as I visited Moonvine. When I got wind that Sunday was a kids classes day, I took the opportunity to create a field trip with my little artists,Eamon and…
I needed to go visit my dear friend Pama last week and let her hold my Fiona. I was never more impressed than when she held Eamon as a baby and lolled him and rocked him like the pro that she is. She is an Easton shop owner. And the newest Moonvine that I walked…
If you haven’t been to Cafe Sado, Inc. in Chester, MD, I probably shouldn’t tell you and ruin it for the rest of us. But we think it’s the best and the most affordable place for sushi. People drive over the bridge from Annapolis for the BOGO deal on sushi. There’s plenty to choose from…
